The courts will not rule on NBC because its only required of the President and the Constitution only allows it to be contested in the Electoral College and in Congress. This is why all of the court cases against Zero have been thrown out under the grounds “Plaintiff has no standing.”
An Electoral College and a Congress made up of Democrats are not going to contest this. Obama knew this and successfully gamed the system.
Its a true flaw in the Constitution.

Any one Representative and any one Senator could have challenged the certification of Obama’s Electoral College votes by submitting written objections to Vice President Cheney who was presiding over the Joint Session of Congress which was held to count and certify the votes of the Electoral College.
None of the 535 members of Congress submitted a written objection to Vice President Cheney.
If a Republican Representative and a Republican Senator had submitted a written objection, both Houses of Congress would have adjourned the joint session and met in their individual chambers to consider the objections.
The Courts might well consider an Obama eligibility lawsuit if a plaintiff WITH standing had been presented to the right court. John McCain, Sarah Palin and/or the Republican Party would have been able to show direct and particularized injury from Obama’s election. I could see a judge granting standing to those plaintiffs but none of those entities chose to file suit or even join an existing suit as co-plaintiffs.
Additionally, the CRIMINAL rather than the civil courts could consider Obama’s eligibility if a Grand Jury investigation had been convened to look into election fraud. There are no issues of standing in the criminal courts.
Grand juries are always the way to go in investigating political malfeasance: Watergate, Whitewater, Iran-Contra, CIA Leaks-Valerie Plame affair, Rod Blagojevich indictment, conviction, impeachment and removal are just a few examples of the successful use of Grand Juries.
